The: Natalia earns her ears and Tatiana gets her crown trip itinerary

Mari and Toño ... We like to believe we have earned our ears ... this will be our 4th trip as a family

Tatiana (4)... it will be her second trip, although she does not remember being there before, she does LOVE to look at the pictures of herself with princesses and Mickey and Eeyore

Natalia (almost 2)... Also her second trip, except that on her first trip, she travelled in style inside her mommy so, she'll be earning her ears ... she does know her Disney lingo though... cannot say daddy yet but she can say Mickey and Woody... Mommy is done a pretty good job bringing her up

Another family is coming with us... well, sort of, we have planned some days/meals together, but we will do other stuff separetly and all our ADRs are separate.. maybe we'll sit together at some if possible, maybe not.. but its their first trip, for the WHOLE family and they are super excited of going, and getting the inside scoop from Mari hahahahahaha, who BTW is no expert, but in Mexico there's a saying, in the land of the blind, a one eyed man is king
So its: Rossana and Omar and their kids: Ana Paula (7) and Omar (4)
We are very good friends, and our kids get along great, so although we wont be pushing for sticking together, we do think we will spend a good part of the trip as a unit ok.. here we go!

Hopefully Fantasmic will be on that night, in which case, dinner will be turkey legs Otherwise we either go back to POR or to DTD and grab something

This will be our only non park day of the trip, normally I like to leave the free day either in the middle of the holiday or the last day, but, this is Saturday and Im thinking the parks will be full, so we will be taking it easy.
Still, there will be ENOUGH of Mickey to keep the girls in a Disney mood

For a QS breakfast type thing in the MK, I've always been fond of the Main Street Bakery. Mostly baked goods type of things but it's always been tasty.

The other thing I was going to mention is that you might want to try Boatwrights Dining Hall at POR one evening for a nice sit down meal. My DW and I "discovered" the place years ago when during our trip, we were way too tired to go to one of the parks to eat. Decided what the heck, let's just eat here in the hotel. Ate in Boatwright's and it's now one of our must do places each trip.

Hey! This is what we're going to do in December!! What do you recommend at Boatwrights, Tom?

Oh it sounds wonnnderful! You are all going to have such a marvellous time!
Dont forget that if there are big parties of you eating at Disney then you have to pay more for the service - 18% is sticking out in my mind but im not sure why? We went to CP and my brother and his family were also there, we asked if he would be able to be seated at the table next to ours and she said about the extra charge, my brother said he would stay where he was thank you very much!

Am i right in thinking that you are the only one in your little family that knows about the trip or am i getting muddled up?

Nothing specific comes right to mind Becca. The last time we were there, I think I had Prime Rib. Whatever it was it was good and the ambiance of the place was very nice. Not crowded or loud like some of the places in parks can be.

Years ago when we first discovered the place, we went in there for dinner and thought we'd both have something light. So, we each ordered a salad. My DW had a chicken salad and I had a sausage one. When they brought them, her's had like two full size chicken breasts in it and mine was like half a pig or something. So much food, we thought we were going to die! So much for a light meal.

Course, they don't have that same menu from way back when anymore but the current one looks pretty good too!

yeap! Im the only one who knows

I had heard about the extra gratuity charge, but thought it was added to ADRs, not when you asked to sit together there ummm... well, I guess we will be seating separate hahahaha Thanks for clarifying that Kate
